Attention! You can customise this product to your needs.
We offer Zero order half waveplates and quarter waveplates from cadmium thiogallate (CdGa2S4) with clear aperture from 10mm up to 18mm for the range 2,8 - 9,0microns.

Dielectric AR coatings for the mid-IR range are also available in order to enhance the performance of the waveplates. Characteristic plates thickness is 0,5 - 0,9 mm. Generally, the waveplates are mounted into the metal holder for easier handling and adjustment.
